Egg In The Middle

1. 1

   First stamp a circle from the center of each slice of bread with a 2-inch cookie cutter and reserve.

2. 2

   Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a frying pan or skillet over medium heat, add the bread and reserved rounds ('hats') and fry until the undersides are lightly golden.

3. 3

   Turn the bread over, adding more oil if necessary.

4. 4

   Carefully break the eggs and ease them into the holes. (Sometimes I drain off a little of the white, but this is not a rule.)

5. 5

   Reduce the heat and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are beginning to set, but are still soft.

6. 6

   Using a spatula, transfer the slices of bread and eggs to a plate, with their hats over the yolks, and serve.
